right now the problem mitt romney is ohio. and i think if he had not written that op-ed piece let detroit go bankrupt, i think he would have been the next president of the united states. it's killed him in northern ohio and has become a firewall for the obama campaign. >> i spoke to some folks who say if president obama wins a second term, he immediately joins the league of great presidents. what's your take? >> he has an opportunity to be that because it's hard to do much in four years. but in obama's case, he ate up the oxygen of his first 18 months in office on obama care. affordable care act. if he loses, romney has said he's going to try to disassemble all that. so he loses president obama's main accomplishment. now he still has the killing of osama bin laden and two supreme court justices and one can make a list of things he can celebrate. but losing that big last piece of the progressive movement, which was trumpeted as his huge accomplishment, it won't bode well for president obama in history. >> douglas brinkley, alwa

monday romney goes to florida, virginia, ohio, and new hampshire. obama counters with wisconsin, ohio, and a closing rally in iowa. the biggest surprise in that final 48 hours is romney's last minute bid in pennsylvania. polls in the state favor president obama, but not by as much as they once did. the romney campaign calls it expanding the electoral map. the obama campaign calls it a fairy tale. well, in the parallel universe phase of the campaign. joining me is chicago mayor and former white house chief of staff rahm emanuel. let me start by showing a poll out of pennsylvania showing that the president's numbers have been slipping since september, and it's now looking like not a four-point race in pennsylvania, which is inside the margin of error. are you all worried about that? >> no. i think, look, the campaign is set, and i think people remember going into this election are jobs and you just had a report friday of 171,000 jobs were created, and, candy, i think when i saw that number the fact that january 2009 when the president first got electe

why does mitt romney lag in ohio? >> i think it's a bunch of hard working people. it's manufacturing. everybody gets up. they go to work. romney, i think they look at him as the boss. obama, you can kind of sit down, talk to the guy one on one. >> i think part of it is, since kasic became governor and implemented his policies and turned things around, obama is getting part of the credit for what's happening in ohio. ohio is only at 7% unemployment. what he's done to sit there and turn the state around is unfortunately giving credit to the president. >> ohio, i think it's the auto industry. i think it's what obama did and when he stood behind the people and the auto workers. >> the unions in ohio is why obama is strong right now. >> show me by hands how many of you voted for him in 2008. how many of you are definitely voting for him in 2012. what the hell happened? >> the promises were not met. >> i'm disappointed because he didn't do what he said he wanted to go. the only thing is i'm not sure i like the alternative. >> who leans towards barack obama? raise your ha

is this the hopeful specific agenda that governor romney has for the state of ohio and the country? >> you know, i think the point of that ad is the fact that we need a president who's actually going to focus on increasing the competitiveness of america so that we can see plant openings here. and we really need a president who is going to focus on making things in america so we can sell them abroad. and i think that's why you have seen former chrysler ceo lee iacocca endorse mitt romney. we need somebody to work with all sides to bring them together with the single focus of getting this economy back on track. david, i've not seen the ad. i just heard it now. i've not seen the ad. apparently they are not running it in virginia. so i've not seen the ad. but i do think the point is mitt romney has demonstrated the ability of building jobs, of making it so that we can have more investment, more economic activity, in america. he has a demonstrated track record and has provided an actual plan, whereas all you're getting from the president in these closing days of his campaign is more nega

romney has never had a lean during the entire year in ohio but, look, part of the disadvantage romney has and part of the reason you have the headquarter numbers so big is because obama has been fighting for ohio for four years. they enough turn down their structure from four years ago and obama, romney, because of the primaries could not put as much focus on so that is a disadvantage. >> there clearly has been movement in the polls inabilitily and in the swing states. romney, especially, since the first debate in early october. how do you read this race. >> let's assume everyone is right that ohio is the linchpin which i think is reasonable supposition. you have a southwest national polls to include gallup and rasmussen that show romney with four, five, or six point lead and another one tomorrow and this is a bipartisan poll which is a sell it poll, reliable poll, showing romney up five nationally. in the battleground states. it is the battle ground poll is the name of it, a national poll, if those polls are correct, it is difficult to imagine that ohio would be that different. ohio

the same could be said of mitt romney about his new ads in ohio. you see the price of desperation here, dishonesty. the campaign crisis to the criticism? they keep running it. >>> did climate change have something to do with hurricane sandy? freak storms happen all the time but this is precisely the kind of event scientists have been predicting to us for years. >>> why would an eisenhower endorse democrat for president? susan eisenhower comes here to talk about. she's endorsing president obama again. >>> does anyone really have a grip on who mitt romney is? this is "hardball," the place for politics. allow natural gas producers to supply affordable, cleaner energy, while protecting our environment. across america, these technologies protect air - by monitoring air quality and reducing emissions... ...protect water - through conservation and self-contained recycling systems... ... and protect land - by reducing our footprint and respecting wildlife. america's natural gas... domestic, abundant, clean energy to power our lives... that's smarter power

i don't buy that there's a path without ohio for romney. so, what they're pointing to this morning, what does suggest something that may be destabilizing the post-debate stability is, "the des moines register" editorial could have a ripple effect in that part of the country. if they have polls showing them even, that could change the me mentality of the voters in ohio. they're trying to neutralize some of false attacks about the auto bankruptcy. >> that's become the big issue in ohio, the auto bailout. the other argument from stephanie cutter, 20% of voters in ohio have voted. >> and in north carolina, maryland, georgia. stephanie cutter is right about this. lot of lines on the east coast. because they're worried about sandy. but i also think you have to look at what these candidates have in front of them. they have to get out there. i never -- i talked to at lot of voters. they're all trying to figure out what they're going to do. and the candidates want to get out. but the president had to cancel a couple of virginia events. mitt romney h
